Meet Jack!

In preparation for Halloween tomorrow, we made our Jack-O-Lantern today. He is named Jack, and was designed by Dana!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Wednesday was Dana's 4th birthday... it is hard to believe that just 4 years ago she was a tiny baby-- and now she is 42 inches and almost 40 pounds! Sadly, Mama was sick for Dana's birthday, so most of the day was spent going to doctor's appointments and resting. She did get a really cool phone call from Mickey Mouse, and was excited to open her presents from Mama and Daddy-- she got her very own camera and a really cool Dora game house that includes 8 games.

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Today is Caleb's 3rd birthday, and he had a "truck" party. The kids got rides on a tractor (the "reindeer" kind), played in the bed of a hay-filled truck, and had a picnic on a trailer. I think they had a good time-- and boy was Dana tired (and filthy!) when we got home!

James and Megan's Wedding-- October 25, 2008

Well, for some crazy reason, the pictures keep uploading backwards, starting with the last and ending with the first! Anyway, yesterday, Chase, Dana and I went to cousin James' wedding to Megan. It was a very "prettyful" wedding as Dana put it. Dana took the last two pictures, of cousin Christy walking down the aisle as a junior bridesmaid, and of Megan's bridesmaids. The other pictures are of Dana with Grandma and Grandpa, being timid about getting onto the dance floor, then dancing with Daddy. Dana was shy about dancing at first, but soon took off and was running/dancing all over the place... she has quite a Lord of the Dance thing going-- we hope we can catch it on video soon.

Mr. Pumpkin Head

We created some "Mr. Pumpkin Head" masterpieces tonight-- thanks again Grandma and Grandpa for the cool kit!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We took a trip with Grandma and Grandpa to the Ashland Berry Farm today to pick our pumpkins... it was a "fun day" as Dana said. Dana and I went through the Children's maze and got all muddy!
